'And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him." Luke 2:40
FROM a scrap of charter paper the child Greensboro College grew — grew for a century from that scrap of paper to the beloved educational institu- tion which today we are proud to claim as our Alma Mater. The growth has not been easy. Early nineteenth century southerners were not convinced of the need for female education. Money was scarce. But loyal friends fought valiantly and tirelessly and success crowned their efforts. Greens- boro College became more than a charter. She became an actual institution whose halls resounded with the activity of girls.
Two decades saw her growth unhampered. Students and faculty in- creased. The building was improved. But not for long did she prosper, for soon the lapping flames of fire destroyed the entire main building, and the devastating war between the states prevented any attempts at rebuilding. Again, however, friends came to the rescue and managed to reconstruct the college which once more began an upward climb. She continued to grow, gaining friends, students, recognition, and esteem. At the turn of the century financial conditions and another fire threatened to destroy her existence, but alumnae and friends prevented the disaster. Since that time, unimpeded the old institution has steadily grown.
Throughout her hundred years Greensboro College has been sheathed in a spirit that has steadily waxed stronger. That spirit which goaded her founders has been transmitted by her children from those pioneers to us today who are celebrating her centennial. Without that spirit she could never have survived the many misfortunes that have come to her. Christian atmosphere, refinement, loyalty, intimacy, wholesome fun. fellowship, and true friendship belong to her — and to her alone, for there is a certain indescribable something found on the old college hill that cannot be discovered anywhere else. Girls have entered her doors for nearly a century, and girls have come out filled with those traditions which have clung to them long after their col- lege days are over. "Her heritage
is dear", and her spirit strong.
One hundred years ago some few men had the wisdom to realize that education for women was. r-
and is. just as important as educa- tion for men. And those men had the courage to fight for their belief. Greensboro College has ever been filled with the wisdom which prompted her founders. Her presi- dents have administered wisely
and well. With a true knowledge of what is right and just, the faculty have given instruction, and her students have received it dili- gently. Difficult problems which have arisen have been sanely solved. The century of her exist- ence has indeed filled Greensboro College with wisdom.
Founded by the North Carolina Methodist Conference, Greensboro College has ever maintained her status of a Christian college. Recognizing her supreme obliga- tion to the church, she places emphasis upon the Word of God. worship, and her own program of religious training and service. Courses in Religious Education, organizations for spiritual growth, close affiliation with the church, and special worship services fill the religious needs of her students, and it is this Christian atmosphere that has sent from her doors scores of consecrated women.
So today we proudly celebrate the centennial of her founding and honor those who have brought her to this significant landmark of her history. But this year is not an end — only a signal for the hundreds of girls who will come to these halls to do their share in building an even better Greensboro College as their tribute to those daughters of the first hundred years. May the girls to come hold ever dear the creed which has been our guide through the years:
"We BELIEVE in being rather than in seeming; in the devotion to high ideals; in daring to do our duty as we understand it.
"We believe in having an attentive eye. a listening ear, a busy brain: in keeping the mind clear and bright, filling it with wholesome thoughts of life; in losing ourselves in useful industry.
"We believe in being worthy at all times; in having grim energy and resolute cour- age for the conquest of fear; in gaining confidence in our ability.
"We believe in service; in doing kind deeds; in thinking kind thoughts; in being strong, gentle, pure and good, steady, loyal, and enduring.
"We believe in reverence for the truth, in humility, in great aspirations and high ambitions, in toiling ever upward.
"We believe in cultivating the bright virtue of patriotism and the holy passion for friendship.
"We believe in studying hard, thinking quietly, speaking gently, acting frankly; in listening with open hearts to the winds, the trees, the stars, and the birds, to babes and sages.
in doing all bravely, bear-
"We believe in being glad, in loving all. in hating none ing all cheerfully, awaiting all occasions, hurrying never.
"We believe in striving to gain sound knowledge, not content to simply know, but determined to use knowledge for the highest purpose.
"We believe in man and woman, in God's unending love, and in the future."
TO THE GREENSBORO COLLEGE GIRLS OF YESTERDAY, TODAY, AND TOMORROW
who were, are, and ever will be sincerely grateful, loyal, and loving daughters of their Alma Mater
WE DEDICATE THIS, OUR CENTENNIAL ECHO
^\\^
VJREENSBORO COLLEGE has been singularly blessed with a high type of leadership, men who have matched the needs of the hour throughout the demands of many decades.
To guide Greensborough Female College through the precarious years of her infancy the board of trustees chose as first president Reverend Solomon Lea. minister of Leasburg, North Carolina, "a gentleman of liberal culture and pleasing manners." School life had been closely interwoven with his nature through his years of teaching experience. To him went the honor of organizing the classes in the first regularly chartered female college in North Carolina, and he fulfilled his duty well from 1846 until his resignation in 1 847.
Dr. Lea was succeeded by Reverend Albert M. Shipp. D.D.. "a man of correct liter- ary taste and broad scholarship." who possessed qualities of mind and heart that rend- ered him peculiarly well adapted to the position. When in 1850 he resigned to accept a professorship at the University of North Carolina. Reverend Charles' F. Deems. D.D.. afterwards widely known as the pastor of the Church of Strangers in New York City, was culled to fill the position. Though only thirty years of age. Dr. Deems led the col- lege through four years of great prosperity. "His superior natural endowments, his varied attainments in learning, his agreeable and attractive manners, and his liberal views of edu- cation, qualified him. m an eminent degree, for the presidency of a female college."
The fourth president of the college was the beloved Dr. Turner M. Jones, who from 1854 to his death in 1890 dedicated his devotion to the great cause of the educa- tion of women. Scores of women Went out from Greensborough Female College during his administration, but few have forgotten Dr. Jones' noble ideals and the inspira- tion of which he was a constant source, and fewer still have failed to love him. War and fire threatened but Dr. Jones ever clung to the ideal that "his college must be the best, offer the best, and receive the best possible at all times under all circumstances."
From 1890 to 189 3 the helm of Greensborough Female College was ably held by Dr. Beniamin F. Dixon, whose administration was one of sound progress and steady growth.
Succeeding Dr. Dixon was Dr. Frank L. Reid. able minister, educator, and eililor. whose period of service at the college was cut short by his death in the fall of 1894.
Dr. Dred Peacock came to the leadership of the college in 1894 and remained until his resignation in 1902 one of the outstanding presidents. His contribution to the college was distinctive and his place is secure in the affections of those who love Greensboro College.
Upon Dr. Peacock's resignation the first woman to become president ol a college in the South, Mrs. Lucy H. Robertson, began an administration marked by cultural in fluence, loyalty, love, and outstanding success in spite of almost superhuman problems.
Reverend Samuel Bryant Turrentme. D.D.. now beloved president emeritus and pro- fessor ol Bible, came to the college in 1913. A true gentleman of the old school. Dr. I urrentine will ever he remembered and loved for his untiring patience, understanding sympathy, scholarly dignity, and humble reverence lor God.
A PETITION ashing the Virginia Conference of the Methodist Church which met at Petersburg. Va., Janu- ary >/ fo February 8, 1S}7, to estab- lish a female college was referred to ' «ik. Peter Doub. and Sam- uel S. Bryant. This committee asked that the Legislature of North Carolina be petitioned for a charter for Creens- :gh Female College. This charter ratified December 28. 1838.
With the resignation of Dr. Turrentine in 1935 Dr. Luther L. Gobbel. Christian educator, came to the college with an array of new ideas, a number of which have already been fulfilled in the extensive improvement program launched under his direction. The prospect is bright for Greensboro College as Dr. Gobbel carries on the forward movement with his slogan that has in a short time become familiar. "Nothing less than the best is good enough for Greensboro College girls."
Greensboro College is proud of her presidents. Their problems and trials have been many, but holding firmly to the wheel they have guided Greensboro College safely to her one hundredth birthday.

OUR DEAN
Mosi of us remember back in Scptcmh.i ol J5 when mid .ill the bustling excitement of the first day of school some of the early arrivals snatched us from the registration line and led us to the office dooi to I'll a peep at the new dean " We peeped. "What! That little bright-eyed girl a dean! Mum be some mistake "
But it wasn't a mistake That little bright eyed girl was Miss Anne Garr.lrd. A B . A.M., Duke University, Alpha Delta Pi sorority, former teacher. and new Greensboro College dean. She had come to fill one of the hardest places the college had to offer. Directing the everyday life ot 275 girls and winning their friendship at the same time is not an easy task, but she accomplished this task quickly and well.
Equally at home presiding at chapel, heading a receiving line, marching in academic regalia, or even riding in a "T Model Ford." Miss Garrard is an all-round person, admirably suited for the deanship of Greensboro College.

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Dr. Elizabeth B Young
Professor of Education
The Department of Education, of comparatively recent origin, develops steadily. It provides the organization for students pre- paring for graduate study in child development and education and for those who may wish to care for their own children or to teach.
DEPARTMENT OF BIBLE AND RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
Dr. Raymond A. Smith
Professor of Religwus
DR. SAMUEL B. TURRENT1NE Education Professor or Bible
The study of Bible has always been required at Greensboro College. From the college cata- logue of 1846 information is obtained of a course called "Mora! Science" which was offered to juniors. Today students are able to select from eight courses in Religious Education and four in Bible Study, and the number of Relig- ious Education majors is increasing rapidly.
DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY AND ECONOMICS
/V.i/,
Elliott O
of History
Watson
nd Econon
From the time when Greensborough Female College opened her doors in 1846. history has been included in the curriculum. Until 1896 it was combined with English but in that year a separate department was established. Now the department offers courses in Ancient, European. English, American, and North Carolina his- tory. American Government. Economics. History Methods, and Current Problems.
ART DEPARTMENT
MISS MARIAN LANDRUM MISS NELLIE ALEXANDER
Head of the An Assistant in the Art

DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS
Miss Annie M. Pegram
Professor of Mathematics
Mathematics has always held a topmost place among the popular courses of study at Greensboro College. We find that in 189} it was required for both the Bachelor of Literature degree and the Bachelor of Science degree. Now those working for a Bachelor of Arts degree can choose between mathematics and science. Besides the elementary work several advanced courses are offered for majors and teachers.
DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE
ir. Paul M. Ginnings
ad of Science Department.
ofessor of Chemistry and
Physics
Dr. Coleen Fowler Assistant Professoi ol
Biology
Up until the first decade of the twentieth cen- tury the Science Department had been weak, due probably to the lack of equipment. At present it includes both the Department of Biology and the Department of Chemistry and Physics, giv- ing majors in each as well as supplying the A.B. science requirement.
DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Miss Agnes Jeter
Director of Physical Education
In the early days pupils were "daily exercised in calisthenics and aesthetic gymnastics." Today the department, though not offering a degree in physical education, is a vital factor in the main- tenance of health on the campus as well as a means for fun and fair play through good clean sports. Every boarding student takes physical education for three years.
DEPARTMENT OF HOME ECONOMICS
Miss Bernice Jeannette Miss Margaret D. White Stewart
Professoi of Home Professor of Home
Girls interested in becoming teachers in home economics or in learning the household arts find excellent opportunities in the courses in cloth- ing, textiles, foods and nutrition, home manage- ment, costume design, interior decoration, the family, child care, home nursing and teaching methods.

The Department of Speech and Dramatic Art came into prominence in 1925 when the college agreed to credit the courses of study offered on an A.B. degree. Today it is "framed for the development of each student, whether it be to correct defects of speech, or to provide a con- fidence in public, or an outlet for dramatic ability."
ENGLISH
Reaching a large number of students the Department of English provides the Eng- lish requirement for every college student and gives ample opportunity for fur- ther study. It teaches the fundamentals of writing, and literary interpretation and ap- oreciation.

LIBRARY
Mrs. Reuben R alley Miss Annette H. Shinn
Librarian Assistant Librarian
Greensboro College has always realized the necessity of a well chosen collection of books. With each year the number of books has in- creased and with each successive year the need for books has been greater, until today as the centennial is celebrated, the library is too small for the more than 18.000 volumes which it contains.
Dr. Robert T. Dinm
Head i>l l hi' Departmei i>t Romance Languages
MADELINE STINSON Assistant Professor 0/ Romance Languages
LANGUAGES
A requirement of two years' foreign language is set for both the A.B. and B.M. degrees: hence, the Depart- ment of Languages plays a vital part in the college cur- riculum. Students may choose either French. Spanish, or German, and may obtain majors and minors in each.
Dr Conrad Lahser
Professor of German
INFIRMARY
Miss Pearl White Turner
Registered Nurse
For minor aches and pains of students Greensboro College main- tains a house on Odell Place — just far enough from the campus to allow students to get quiet rest. On duty constantly is a regis- tered nurse, and the college physician is ready to come on call at any time. Even those who are not ill retire often to the infirmary for the restful sleep, special foods, and attention offered there.

CLASSES

TIMID little southern /ass picked up her skirts and followed her par- ents up the walk and sloidy through the door of Greensborough Female College which that day. April 15. 1846. had opened to receive students. Just what was to happen, she did not know, for in those days it was no everyday occurrence for a girl to enter college. True, she had spent tiresome hours poring over an atlas, practicing penman- ship, and learning to spell, read and figure accurately in order to meet the entrance requirements of the college; but whether she should be placed in the "first class." "junior class." or "senior class." she did not know. What if she should have to go into the Primary and Preparatory Department'.
But being a particularly good student for a girl ol her age. she was placed in the tunior class. Hardly had her mother and father boarded the train, when the teachers to whose control she had been "submitted entirely." began giving her instruction in Rhetoric. Botany. Philosophy. Logic. Latin, and Algebra. When she had arranged her studies so that outside work would not interfere, she was allowed to take up the "orna- mental" branches, needlework and music. It was with no little anxiety that she waited to see whether she would receive "very good." "good." "respectable." or "tolerable" on her report, but she worked diligently and soon "her natural ability, her previous prep- aration, and her application to study" warranted her graduation.
In 1879 a sturdy young lady in homespun hoopskirts climbed the same hill up which her mother had so timidly walked thirty-three years before. 7 he trying experi- ence of Reconstruction had made her unafraid as she entered the Sophomore Class, which had acquired its second year rating and name in 1854. Like all other southern women she had come to realize that with the changing conditions it was necessary for girls as Well as men to know how to earn a living. It is no wonder, then, that she was anxious to take up book-keeping, stenography and typewriting which college authorities had added to the regular college course. But. of course, she must get one of the three diplo- mas: "'the Full Diploma for young ladies who stand an approved examination upon the regular English course and one Ancient or Modern Language: The English Diploma for th<>\e who complete the regular English course, which embraces all the studies of the curriculum, except those called extra or optional: Certificate of Proficiency for those young ladies who desire to take an eclectic course, on the completion of any special depot tment."
I he streamlined lc'38 automobile pulled up to the curb, and a young girl hopped out. She slopped a moment lo look around at Odell building, the tennis courts, and the rotunda. I hen eagerly she ran up the ivalk which her grandmother had climbed in '79.
"DURING Tuesday and Wednesday the classes li'ere subjected to an im- partial and searching examination. The result was satisfactory to the friends .)/ the institution and creditable to the pupils and instructors. These exercises vjece enlivened by occasional music, umentair
ithern Methodis
Turning through the pages of the register, she wrote her name under the column "Fresh- men." which name had come into use at Greensboro College sometime in the 1890's. With her satisfactory high school record balanced against the entrance requirements, and with her mind fully made up. she chose her studies from the wide selection of courses leading to the A.B. and B.M. degrees, and began at once on her career at Greensboro Col- lege— a four-year standard college for women whose standard of scholarship, ever abreast ol the limes, has made a name for her among Southern schools.

"For you who arc a hundred years wiser and stronger than we. the world is waiting. You. like us. will reach to the future which is strange; yet. will hold to the solid, well-grounded ideals of the past, counting on the experiences of your fathers to give you wisdom for the tasks ahead. With heads held high and eyes raised to God. you will follow the lead of former generations toward joy. toward service, toward friendliness, to- ward world harmony.
Although a century separates us, we are bound together in the ever- lasting bond of the Greensboro College spirit and personality. This institution, which has singularly honored us by being our Alma Mater, has taught us well. With a hundred years' experience, and as you read this, two hundred years' experience, she has taught us the relation of truth to truth. Here, we have learned what little things are little; and what, as necessary

parts of the great, have taken on a kind of greatness. Here we have found 'enough learning to make us humble,' enough friendship to warm and enlarge our hearts, enough culture 'to teach us the re- finement of simplicity,' and a de- mocracy that excludes neither rich nor poor. It is on this college hill that you, and we. have been strengthened out of our weak- nesses. Our Alma Mater knows us well, and yet loves us. This love is our heritage, and it is yours!
It has been adequately stated that the first hundred years are the hardest, but after the pioneering comes the perseverance and forti- tude to keep moving and progres- sing, so you too, have had a task. We have had the faithful help of the alumnae and faculty. May For tunc have been as generous with you. If your way has been made easier and your existence safer, the work done during the first hundred wars has not been in vain.
Many deep, intangible joys thai come only from true friendship are our most cherished graduation gifts; may fervent reiteration of precious hours spent together be
numbered among your gifts, too. May your hearts glow with happiness as old and new friends smile to you from Memory's Way: and may the spirit of all the pure and sweet experiences gleaned from college walks always be yours.
Ever may the class of 1938 speak to you of whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are lovely, and whatsoever things have made your heart happiest on this college hill."

PRAYER TO TIME
Old man. weave us a life. Through
A warp of laughter, thread the woof of tears.
Spin of beauty, bright and flaming
For the April of our years.
From the shuttle ever flying. Come the strands of blue and gold. Spun of green and brown and scarlet. May life's tapestry unfold.
In the pattern of the sunset Weave cool grey and threads of white. Braid the memories of the noon day. Into silver for the night.
Time, master craftsman, weave us a life.
With a warp of laughter, thread a woof of tears.
Weave of beauty, golden, flaming.
In the April of our years.
HELEN AVETT. Class Poet.
For Four Years + + +
For four years the class of 1938 has been completing the story of a century. We have been filling this one twenty fifth of a century by carrying on the traditions already important at Greensboro ColLge and by adding new practices which we hope will prove to be traditions here in the next century
On September 5. 1934. eighty new girls lauded as the centennial class came to this campus. The faculty gave us a gracious reception and the Young Women's Christian Association received us cordially on the following night The next day. time became one grand rush with both the Irving and Emerson societies entertaining us afternoon and evening with tea dances, buffet sup- pers, and lawn parties. There has been no Decision Day since like the one in '34 when Evelyn Lyles of Thomasvillc was crowned as "Miss Emerson " and Starr Martin of Winston-Salem was chosen as the Irving brid:.
One of the first news articles concerning the centennial class carried these headlines: "Fresh- men Show a Variety of Taknt." The explanation is to be found in the programs consisting of readings, dances, skits, piano and violin so'.os given by the freshmen of both societies at their first regular meetings
Soon after we displayed our variety of talents in plays and other programs, the sophomores suddenly brought us back to earth. One October morning at four thirty, creatures different from any ever seen before emerged from rooms in Mam building and meekly kneeled to the mighty sophomores. All that day tired bodies branded with red marks, dangling pig tales, short dresses, and white cotton stockings falling around tennis sho:s, knelt and ran errands for girls who would not even be members of the student body during the centennial celebration.
Realizing that we needed protection, we immediately decided to organize. With Jean Lassitcr of Spring Hope I now studying voice at Juilhard School of Music) as our president we became better known as the class of 38 Under her direction we presented our famous class song to the college at the annual Greensboro College Day banquet At one: we set to prove our abilities at formal gatherings and welcomed our friends of the city at a tea.
At Christmas time our dean. Miss Olivia Harmon, advised us in introducing a new custom which we hoped would continue in other years. This custom was that of singing Christmas carols to friends of the college who lived in Greensboro. It delighted us to sing "in the sleet in Boston fashion."
At the close of the first semester, it was announc:d that nine of the forty-two students who averaged ninety or better on their studies were freshmen
To begin the new semester members of our class entertained the Big Sister class, the juniors, at a theater party.
Among the superlatives chosen by th: stud.'nt body that year a freshman was named best athlete. It was no wonder that a member of our class was chosen for this honor when the class held the school championship in soccer, basketball, and tennis.
At the May Dav festival Mary Belle Draper I now Mrs Abbot Lane Browne of Panama City. Florida) and Cornelia Sattcrficld of Roxboro representing the beauty of the class graciously attended the queen Elizabeth Ray (Mrs. Joe Jelks of Mars Hill) and other "little ones" from our class danced about as pickaninnies. The May Pole dance was colorfully presented by the gay freshmen So our year of observing and growing accustomed was completed
In September 1935 we came again, not so many in number. Frances Griffin of Thomasvillc as president started us and led us through one of our most eventful years. Naturally the first thing to do was to have our supreme day, freshman-sophomore day On October 11, we were the sophomores and the freshmen were the loosely dressed hicks.
Then one morning at breakfast some girls entered the dining room wearing uniform blue coats with little white numbers on the pockets The figures were '38 and the girls were members of that class. The coats suggested another id;a. and so at the first game of the soccer tournament Margarette Godwin of New Bern with pomp and array, led her blue and white band of '38 across the field. The parades continued during the basketball and tennis tournaments with the result that the class again won the school championship.
The spring of '36 brought us excitement and adventure We entertained our Big Sisters at a banquet on the roof of the Jefferson building lust as we finished the exciting program of faculty imitations, a tornado swept through the city The next morning blue coats with 38 on the pockets could be seen scampering through the stricken area But storms did not stop our love lor banquets Soon we joined the freshmen in inaugurating a freshman sophomore banquet, held at the King Cotton Hotel
We chose I stelle Haves of Greensboro and Frances Ray I Mrs A Shell Lloyd of Evansville, Indiana I as attendants to the que.n of May Other members ol the class drcssid in Grecian gowns Ol .buns wliii.' silk danced for the queen to I iebestraum."
The grand "final" of the year came when we as Little Sisters arose in the early morning hours picked daisies and completed the traditional daisy chain in a record lime Alter presenting the chain to our Big Sisters at the class day exercise we returned to our homes to wait for the new' September.

After Ten Years + + +
"Greensboro College Celebrates Its Centennial.' It was the night after our graduation and I gazed for possibly the last time at this familiar headline in the daily newspaper. Tall black letters formed these words in my mind once more as I snapped out the light and turned over.
Well, we've certainly heard a great deal about the hundred years just passed." I said be- tween yawns to no one in particular. "Wonder what the next hundred years will bring forth — or even the next ten years — "
Hardly had the last word left my mouth when I found myself in front of a familiar look ing structure — Odell Memorial Auditorium in fact — and I turned to look for a familiar face in the crowd. Two business like young women with pads and pencils in their hands rushed up to me — Frances Griffin and Helen Avett! Upon talking to them I found that they had been sent over by their newspaper, The Winston-Salem Journal -Sentinel to cover the 1948 commence- ment of the Alma Mater. From them I learned that other members of our centennial class were back for commencement.
"As a matter of fact." Griffin said to me, "Starr Martin came over with us this morning. You know she has a dramatics studio where at present she is busy with production of "Pied Piper of Hamlin. ' She was quite anxious to come over today because Mayo is to be here. Mayo's been down at Carolina Beach getting the "Honeymoon Hotel" ready for the summer. I've heard it's quite a popular rendezvous for the class of '38."
The three of us set out for the Main Building, but we had a little difficultv in getting up the walk for the Academic Procession had begun to form. I heard Helen gasp and turned to see her staring at someone in a black robe with pink hood. It was Martha Moores, Professor of Organ and Voice at Greensboro College!
After we had spoken to our own "Ma Hopkins," she told us to look toward the back of the line and see the distinguished alumnae. I could hardly believe my eyes. The former Offa Lou Harris, now Mrs. Melvin Jenkins, wife of the Secretary of the Navy, stood just in front of Miss June Wren who was the speaker of the morning. We gathered that the subject of Miss Wren's address was to be "Higher Education in the State of Mississippi."
When we could tear ourselves away we went into Lea Center to look at the register. It seemed as if the ten years had not elapsed for there was Eleanor Anthony's name first, as it had always been on class rolls and chapel lists. Eleanor. I learned, was buyer for Miller and Rhodes of Richmond.
The next name written in beautiful, flowing letters was that of Jessie Hurst. Efficiency Expert with the Zaner Bloser Handwriting Companv. and beneath hers was that of Miriam Russell. No one had to tell me what Miriam was doing for I had just read her best-seller, "The Zero Hour."
After we had signed our own names and had been warmly greeted by Mary Herring, President of the Greensboro Chapter of the Alumnae Association, we went into the senior parlor where we were met by a familiar sight. Eleanor Hearon between telling how much she really did enjoy her work of assistant to the postmaster at Waxhaw was sympathizing with Eva in her trials as Dorothy Dix's successor in "Advice to the Love Lorn." In the middle of the floor as usual were Harnctte and Winnie. Harriette was demonstrating the latest swing in putting up hay. learned from her experiences as a farmerette on the banks of the Yadkin. Winnie, as usual, was ready to accept any reducing method, for her full-time job as taster in a candy factory was hardly conducive to the trim figure Over in one corner members of the textbook committee of the North Carolina Teachers' Association — Mildred Tippett. Hester Tulburt. Lib Atkinson, and Eloise Hendrix — were having a short meeting with "Miss Tibbetts" as chairman.
"Oh. girls, have you heard about Carolyn Melton.''" Anne piped up from the sola where she had been listening to Alice's excited accounts of her experiences in conducting the children's story hour over the radio. Anne had come down with her husband who preached the baccalaureate sermon.
It seems that Carolyn had just had a sketch accepted tor the cover of next month's Vogue
"And speaking of artists." Huppie giggled even though she was an expert statistician. "I just had a letter from Margaret who is in New York with Lllin where they have formed the Lord and Ford Company. Margaret writes short stories, and Ellin illustrates them with Margaret as model."
"Well, why don't we call them up and talk to them" said the always impractical Fergie, whose horse "Pole" had just won in the Curies Neck Derby.
I put in the call to New York and presently I hard a familiar voice. "Number, please." As I live and breathe. Anne Ruth Farrar. head of New York telephone exchange! "Well. well, a small world." I said, as I greeted Margaret.
"We're going to form a G C. Club up here." she told me. "Chappie is operating a book shop on 7th Avenue, and Lib Lawson is chief usher at the Schubert Theater and Viola Ward is modeling hats for rainy weather. And over in Philadelphia Ruby Trollinger is conducting a 100 voice chorus with Margarette and Hicky as soloists. Mary Lib Pugh came by the other day on her way back from France where she has been studying French."
I wanted to hear more but by this time the commencement exercises were ready to begin. We started out the door and bumped into about a dozen bags plastered with foreign labels and somewhere amongst them we heard Pooch, who we found after a little difficulty was ready to conduct a special teachers' tour to Europe. Imagine our surprise when we found that Martha Wade and Mary C. Hutchinson, teachers in the Greensboro School system: Kitty Rohrer, Elizabeth Davis, Anne Bennett, instructors in home economics, and Bea Stafford, math teacher at Summerfield. were to go along.
Griffin and Helen had to go on to shoot a few pictures, so 1 stood out on the rotunda for a while. Who should walk up but Miriam Vail, who I lost no time in finding out was teaching piano in Wake Forest. "Cleppie wanted to come up," she said, "but since commencement isn't on Thursday she had to attend to her job of homemaking."
"Who is that?" someone beside me asked as a professional looking person came up shaking hands and beaming profusely. There was Law. attorncy-at law. trying to scare up a little prestige so that she could get one of the district judgeships.
She and I started over to Odell. and were nearly knocked over by a large apple truck. "Watch out." a familiar voice yelled and Mvra and Edith hopped out of the truck. Myra had brought a supply of apples for old '38 from her orchard, and Edith had taken time out from her play- ground work to come along.
We all went inside just as greetings were being read by the President of the Alumnae As- sociation. Beulah Bradley, who was also president of the Faculty Wives at Louisburg. We were of course, excited to hear telegrams from Cleo Fox, dietitian at the University of Wisconsin; Ruth Webb, tennis instructor at a camp near Atlanta; Ruth Smith interior decorator of Bos- ton; Mary Lib Cox. research expert in the University of Pennsylvania; Lib Brinkley. dramatics teacher at Brenau College; and Mary Ruth Yelton. model at Marshall fields in Chicago.
I looked across the aisle where a woman was busily writing figures on her program. I peeped over her shoulder — Janie Wariner counting the years until her Golden anniversary '
But what was that the president was saying? The library had just received an autographed copy of Katherine Bradley's scientific book. "The Why of Things" A burst of applause went up. I looked and saw Dot Lane and Mildred Faulkner, instructors at the Greensboro Art Center, and Margaret Woolen, who had come up from her Pitt County farm, wildly cheering old '38
About that lime Helen slipped in with a copy of her old paper "The Greensboro Record" and pointed to a full page picture of Estelle Hayes, who it seems was to marrv a French cabinet member. I turned the page and there was Gertrude Taylor's champion basketball team — but something must be happening. All the type was running into big black lellers ami they were spelling "Greensboro College Celebrates Its Centennial." I kicked the paper off the bed. and turned over for another wink of sleep before going out to conquer the teaching world.

FEATURES
T.
HE FAMILIAR adage that "the first hundred years are the hardest" finds plenty of grounds for proof in the history of this college, for if any institution has been faced with difficulties, misfortunes, and just plain "bad breaks" Greensboro College has. From the very beginning to this one hundredth year the college has in the words of Dr. T. M. Jones "had to contend with that great difficulty, which has operated against the success of so many benevolent . noble, and grand enterprises — the want of funds."
Agents worked tirelessly and faithfully to secure enough money for the first build- ing of 1846. Several years later when the number of students necessitated an addition to the structure the trustees were embarrassed because already a heavy debt was hanging over them. Resourcefulness, however, came to the rescue, and the trustees made the proposi- tion that if the North Carolina conference would raise $20,000 and turn the sum over to Creensborough Female College, the college would educate free of charge the daughters of the ministers who at that time belonged to the conference.
Matters continued rather smoothly then for a number of years until 186 > when another severe blow came. On Saturday night, the ninth of August. 1 863 . about twelve o'clock the cry of fire was heard. All efforts to arrest the flame proved ineffectual and before morning Creensborough Female College had gone up in flame and smoke.
No to be daunted, loyal friends began at once to rebuild the college. Dr. Jones, who was then president, set out to raise funds once more. By 1864 a quantity of lumber had been purchased, and it was the purpose to have "the building inclosed by the next year." but the change in condition of the country caused by the close of the war prevented the program of the Work. What money there was had lost its value, and as a further catastrophe the Federal army confiscated the building materials.
Again came the drive for funds; at last on August 27 . 1873. eleven years and seven- teen days after the destruction of the old building the college reopened.
Financial difficulties continued, and in 1882 the college was purchased by a "syndicate of prominent laymen." The struggle for security steadily grew until in 190) the college was on the verge of closing. The alumnae, led by Miss Nannie Lee Smith, unwilling to see their Alma Mater suffer, plunged into a strenuous drive to save her. Mass meetings, newspaper stories, and days of exhausting work were finally rewarded with success, and the alumnae were able to purchase the college, which they succeeded in gelling the North ( arolina and Western North Carolina conferences to take over.
At last the way began to clear, but not for long. Once more a tumble came when on Wednesday. February 2). 1904. at two o'clock in the morning, fire again destroyed
AT two o'clock on the morning of February 23, 1904, college girls were roused from their warm beds by the cry of lire. Shivering in the cold win- 'aht they watched the lapping quickly destroy the building. Neighbors came to the rescue offering their beds to the students, who it can be supposed did little sleeping that night.
the college. Before daylight plans had been made tor rebuilding, and exactly three months and three days later through almost superhuman efforts the college opened. With no major mishaps Greensboro College has continued to operate since that lime.
What misfortunes, if any. ihe next century will bring we do not know; but with the -first hundred years' behind her and the ever loyal support of her alumnae and friends she can do nothing but climb.

ACTIVITIES
It IS TRUE that raiding a turnip patch or sliding down bannisters might be called activities in which the G. F. C. girls participated, but for approximately the first fifty years all organized outside activities were concentrated in the literary societies.
As early as 1846 the students had two literary societies, the Sisgourneyen and the Philocecheren. which in those early days substituted for a library, for each had a separate hall furnished with a reading room. About 187° the Mary Lyon Literary Society sprang up with a purpose to furnish "an auxiliary for the cultivation of tastes and manners," and to afford "rare facilities for inspiring elocution, composition and conversation."
But the debates and the spoken essays of the programs began to prove inadequate. Students needed an opportunity for literary expression, so in 1884 the "Message." col- lege magazine, made its appearance. The "Message" carried poems, 'essays, and stories by the literary minded young ladies, as well as news events of the college, editorials and even a gossip column.
A "Message" of 1887 discloses the exciting news that a Shakespeare Club was to be formed under the direction of the new "elocution" teacher who had studied with "Hudson, the great Shakespearean commentator." Evidently dramatics as a so-called extra-curricula activity began about this time. A story has been handed down that plays were seldom given m those days as acting was considered quite outside the pale of decency. "The Merchant of Venice" once presented, the story goes, created most unfav- orable comment, though there could have been no objection to the girls' attire. From their waists up they were dressed as the characters they were portraying, but for the sake of decency, long skirts completed their outfits.
Athletics of the present day status found its beginning back in 1892 when a "Message" states. "Our calisthenics teacher is making an effort to procure necessaru im- plements for out -door exercise. This feature of college life is beginning to take its proper stand. We realize more than ever the importance of recreation."
It was no! long then until the young ladies clad in their elaborate gym suits of long ruffled bloomers and sktrts were exercising daily with Indian clubs and dumb-bells for the use of which they had paid the nominal sum of fifty cents.
The first annual "The Tattler" published in 1Q03 bore a picture of girls playing ping-pong. Also by that time basketball teams and a tennis club had come into exist- ence, and a "May-pole" was mentioned as a part of the commencement program.
This first edition of the Greensboro College yearbook was a "scrapbook looking" book containing in addition to pictures a number of original short stories and sketches. Lhe stall had assumed for the photographer a business-like look with pompadoured hair and long black shirts and middies, and had grouped themselves around a heavy old "library" table.
By that time the social life at Greensboro College had become highly organized. for pictured in the "Tattler" were the "Flinch Club" and the "Chafing Dish Club"
LAWN TENNIS proved popular with the G. F. C. girls. A "Message" of ISSS bears the spicy comment "Lawn Tennis is the latest racquet'."
whose officers were listed as "chief cook," "chief eater." "pot licker." etc. Dressed in flowing white costumes members of the dramatic club had draped themselves over a couch and with soulful expressions had posed for the photographer.
A 1908 "Echo" lists an "Old Maids' Club." an "Eat-All-You-Can Club." "The Down Homers." "The Diggers." and "The Kule Kids" whose motto was "Have as much fun as you can with as little work as possible."
Activities today occupy a large place in the life of a Greensboro College girl.

Margaret Chapman President
STUDENTS'
A burst of appreciative applause hon- ored the members of the Student Council on March first as they rang down the cur- tain on a highly successful year, and handed over their costumes of office to their successors. With a "four star" rating, the 1 9^7-18 Council officers gave their per- formance. Never missing a cue the well chosen cast remembered their lines ac- curately: and remembering the actors' motto, "the show must go on." they por- trayed their roles with deep understanding.
Heading the cast was Margaret Chap- man, who in the role of "President." was ably supported by Patti Sue Hipps. as "Vice-President": Martha Way. as "Sec- ond Vice-President": Mary C.

ASSOCIATION
Gowan, Mary Lena Green. Offa Lou Harris, and Meriel Edwards, as "House Presidents": and a cooperative faculty and student body.
The Students' Association with its au- thority vested in the Council has had an interesting history dating from 1914. when students, feeling the need for student gov- ernment "to effect sympathetic and loyal cooperation between the faculty and the students and to attain the highest ideals of college life and conduct." set down a con- stitution meeting this need. The opening year's work was a huge success, and each of the twenty-five consecutive performances since that time has been marked with im- provements. The 1 937-' 38 cast added its part to the progress of the show by a re- decorated council room, a number of ad- ditions to class privileges, wise judgment in important cases, better understanding through a joint retreat with the "Y", and furtherance of the Honor System.

COLLEGE COUNCIL
To establish a better relationship between students and faculty an organization known as the "College Council" was. begun this year. This grew out of the old "Big Council" and is composed of the Executive Council of the Stu- dents' Association, the Advisory Board, presi- dents of the Athletic Association, the Y. W. C. A., and the societies, the fire chief, and represen- tatives of the four classes. Before this board, petitions and suggestions of varying importance and subjects are presented, discussed, and re- ported upon. In this full centennial year the Council was not the active body it hopes to be with more time, experience, and understanding. Inn a start has been made and out of it doubt- lessly will grow an effective organization.
Membership includes: Margaret Chapman, Patti Sue Hipps, Martha Way. Mary C. Hutchinson. Mary Ruth Bruton. Margaret Anderson. Estcllc Hayes, Mericl Ed- wards, Mary I ma Green, Ellin Ford. Louise Robbins. Sara King. Virginia Patrick, Anne Jones. Margaret law Mar) Starr Martin. Evelyn I vies Anne Bennett, Eliza beth Fulp, I ucile Home. Annette Bruton. Mary Susan Robertson, Dr Luther L.

The slightest sound of "Old Emerson" brings scurry- ing from all directions always loy.il Emersons eager to join in the cheers of love and praise for their society. In fact, so eager was one of the members last fall that she fell through a skylight in trying to reach her sister Emersons.
Though the smaller and younger of the two societies the Emersons make up with a spirit of sportsmanship and fair play that prevails in every one of their activities, and a staunch loyalty that is never lost even many years after the members leave G. C.

The year opened with countless circu the renowned "Emersonian" to new girls. Entertaining programs and orchestras made up their first formal meet- ings, and new girls and Emersons joined in an afternoon of fun at the Cone Lake.

ECHO

Today the 1938 ECHO is yours. The worn old lay-out. familiar glossies and fiat proofs have become such old friends, it is hard to real- ize that they are no longer necessary and that the book is actually in one piece.
For over a year now we have watched it grow worrying over every mistake, clucking over every satisfactory part. Great were our plans as we started out. The largest part of the work was to be completed in the summer but somehow vacation and annuals didn"t prove congenial, and it was the latter part of September before we really began. Gray hairs sprang out as rain caused hair to droop, people forgot appoint- ments, and proofs were lost, but everyone was at last pleased. Christmas Eve saw us at home feverishly marking pictures to catch a deadline. Upon our return to school old Morpheus caught us twice as in drawing up the lay-out we strug- gled over whether such-and-such club pictures should be size so-and-so, and tilted to what de- gree. Photographer and assistants shivered in the February winds taking group pictures. Mer- chants listened patiently while we explained how advertising in the ECHO would assure business

recovery. Finally on the last two days we cut classes, missed meals, and scurried madly hither and yon trying to get everything together so that you could have your annuals today.
We have not tried to publish a history of the college, but only to set the people and activities of one year in a background of Greensboro Col- lege's past achievements.
Here it is. then— your 10 3 8 annual. Prob- ably you won't like it. We hope you will. But we have done our best, and have enjoyed doing it.

COLLEGIAN HAS
SUCCESSFUL
YEAR
Greensboro, N. C, May 5. 1938 — The Collegian, Greensboro College newspaper, is nearing completion of one of the most suc- cessful and progressive years since its begin- ning in 1926. according to reports of mem- bers of the student body. Under the able and dependable editorship of Margaret Ford, the newspaper has risen from a monthly pub- lication to a bi-weekly. Students look for- ward to its prompt appearance every other Friday evening.
Trying to publish two issues a month on a limited budget is no easy matter, but Clara Meade Smith, as business manager, puts on her best business tactics and secures enough advertisements.
The regular news portion of the paper has been supplemented with lively write-ups, a "Campus Personality" column, and a num- ber of pictures, a great many of which are candid shots made by the editor herself.
The literary page gives opportunity for recognition of creative writing especially that of new students.

A December Collegian came out with six pages containing the names and addresses of the entire student body and faculty, a feature that was extremely helpful in sending Christ- mas cards. In connection with the centennial drive, special "endowment." "library," and "gymnasium" issues came out in the spring.
In publishing the Collegian the editor and business manager are ably assisted by Miss Mary L.

HANDBOOK
Miriam Russell Editor
Helen Avett Business Manager
Little did we dream back in August when the postman interrupted our comfortable vaca- tion sleep of all the shoe leather, backaches, and tiresome hours that went into the little green Handbook he brought True, it seemed a handy little article to keep in the table drawer and re- fer to in case of doubt or argument: further than that, however, we scarcely gave it thought. But much thought as well as praise is due. for two of the least lauded but hardest positions on the campus are those of editor and business manager of the Handbook
Having been selected by the Student Council and approved bv the student body Miriam and Helen set to work last Spring. Time after time Miriam reminded presidents to hand in material: time after time they forgot it. Helen kept the dust flying scurrying from one advertiser to an- other Finally she secured more than enough to pay for the book — even if one shoe shop did in- sist upon the fee being "taken out in trade."
Summer came. With Helen in Cornelius. Miriam in Dunn, and the printer in Greensboro, matters proved to be a bit complicated, and the mail service in those points increased consider- ably. Pecking a typewriter became Miriam's full-time occupation as she copied page after page. Last minute calendars and orientation programs caused a good-sized headache or two.
But finally the eighteenth edition of the Students' Handbook made its appearance: how- ever, little thought we may give it, it has proved .in indispensable guide.

"Ding-dong, clang, bang" — at two o'clock in the morning we are startled out of a perfectly peaceful slumber. Another clanging of the bell, and we wake up enough to hear the roommate say "Fire Drill!" We hop out of bed. and if our presence of mind is strong enough we pull down the windows, open the door, and grabbing a wet towel dash out of the building. But win- dows or no windows, wet towels or no wet towels, we scurry from the dormitories through specified doors, for absence from a fire drill points to "restriction."
Since fires have been closely connected with Greensboro College during her history, the fire department is taking no chances on another bla?.e.
Fire Chief is Ellin Ford who is assisted by her lieutenants: Mayo Jones. Mary Virginia Arnold. Beryl Graham. Annie Laurie Howell. Cleo Fox, Sallie Huddleston, Anne Slaughter, Ellen Cooper Axlcy. Helen Brown Jefferson. Catharine Dozier. Jean Bowers. Hilda Douglas. Ann Ashby.

All right, now. let's see what we can get out of these parts." said Miss Henningei as with a chait and a table and a cast in the EmtTrson hall she began molding Berkeley Square" into a brilliant first production of the year. Finally on November 9 the rough spots had been carefully ironed out; the play was ready lor production. At its conclusion an unusually large and appreciative audience agreed with the Greensboro Daily .Was in saying I., thf observei who searched for a superlative in the presentation of John L. Baldcrston s Berkeley Square there was the choice or combination of choices, from a cydorama of effective sound de- vice, adequate technical support, beautiful scenery elegant costumes and commendable acting."
HardU had the applause died down when Mis, Willard began rehearsals on the gay modem comedy Ih Awa) Home- given Decembei in The ex periences ol the lather who returned home after twelve years to get acquainted with his "modern" children afforded much amusement, and the play was a thoroughly enjoyable production
The Players were not idle long, for soon in conjunction with the Greensboro chapter of the alumnae association they began dusting off scenery and costumes for a revival of 'Uncle Remus' Creeturs" as a benefit performance. The delightful dramatization by Dr. J, Roddey Miller of the beloved Uncle Remus stories had first been presented in 1932. Because Odell was overflowing with excited chil- dren on February 26 and because scores were turned away. the performance was repeated February 28.
As a final presentation the Players gave an amusing comedy 'The Dover Road" on March 25. Ridiculous situations rose from the eccentric Mr. Latimer's hobby of intercepting eloping couples and keeping them for a week or two in order that they might become "better ac- quainted." The production was a fitting close for a bril- liant season of the Players, whose membership is based on dramatic ability as well as a certain number of hours spent in work on productions. Present members are Eliza- beth Bnnklcy. Mary Ruth Bruton, Kilty Cline. Margaret Faw, Elizabeth Gabriel. Winifred Gray, Ofta Lou Harris. Jacquelyn Hauser. Evelyn Lyles. Mary Starr Martin, Leone Martin, and Mary Frances Moore

Sometime in the early fall. Lou. Goode, Jac. and Jeter put their heads together and mapped out a tournament for the racquet-swinging young ladies. (Lou. Goode and Jac being [he class in coaching). The tournament seems to be rather a subject to be avoided in the company of these three, for it was late (very late) in the season before the champion was finally ascer- tained However, first and second round matches within the four classes did progress with some rapidity, and Ruth Webb, last year's champion, came out victorious as the senior class champion. Lucile Home as the junior class champion. Grace Clare Taylor as the sophomore class's best, and Celeste Home as winner in the freshman class.
Webb won over Taylor, and Lucile Home succeeded in downing her sister. Final scores between Home and Webb showed 3-6. 6-2, 8-6 sets with Webb on the winning end.

SOCCER TOURNAMENT
With the rousing send-off of the Pep Rally the 1937 soccer tournament got underway with plenty of class spirit and a great deal of rivalry. Following the custom set last year, the schedule in- cluded two games each afternoon, and at the conclusion of the tournament each team had met every other class team.
On the first day the powerful sopho- more aggregation trounced the freshmen with a 4-2 score. The deadliest rivals for three years, the juniors and seniors fought to a 2-2 tie.
Continuing a winning streak the sophs managed a 1-0 victory over the seniors, and the juniors won over their little sisters, the freshmen.
On the concluding day the seniors made a comeback with their triumph over the freshmen, and the sophomores chalked up another mark and accord- ingly the championship with their 2-0 score over the juniors.

THE HIKERS
One Saturday afternoon a passerby saw all colors of a patchwork quilt gathered outside Main building. Inside the colors were members of the hiking club whose calots, sweaters, and kerchiefs were of the brightest hues. And that girl in the red over there was Miss Garrard.
With spirits high and energy overflowing they started out. The autumn weather was "just right" for a hike. By and by as the spirits and energy lagged they came to the "Boar and Castle " Winnie was along so they all flopped down at a table and ordered "food." With the Duke-Georgia Tech game blaring from a radio. Miss Garrard supported the Alma Mater between bites of a steak sandwich. Rather complicated situations arose when the waiter mistook our dean for one of the college girls: but he was soon set a-right and the hikers set out for the home grounds.
Jane Harkness is president of the hiking club. Martha Wad< secretary and Ruth Smith, publicity chairman.

Dissertation On Educational System of Present Day Colleges
By Mam Frani es Moore
I he main trouble with the educational system in the colleges of today is the college faculty's attitude toward students. They don't seem to realize thai students only come to college in order to secure an education. The students aren't interested in the assignments, tests, and all that rot that teachers hand out and really seem to expect students to get. The actual lav out is this: Students' parents are paying out perfectly good money some of them even sacrificing in order that the youth of today may secure learning to further the causes of democracy, peace, and the W.P.A. of to-morrow. The students enroll in col- lege sacrifice beauty sleep to make eight o'clock classes; sacrifice their freedom to get in at 10:20 P.M. in fact sacrifice their all and what do they get?
